Jenn

Owner, Massage Therapist, Esthetician

Hi all! I've been a licensed massage therapist and esthetician for over a decade. I came to Tacoma 12 years ago by way of Colorado by way of Massachusetts. People always ask me what I love most about my job and I actually got my answer from a client a few years back when she told me "Every time I get a massage from you, it makes me feel so grateful and appreciative of my body." Best. Compliment. Ever. I think about how much time we spend beating ourselves up for not looking a certain way, for being sick or injured, or for feeling like we are just not enough. The fact that I potentially lend a hand in changing those narratives from negative to positive is truly an honor and a privilege. If you know me, then you know how much I love your WHOLE life and how much I want people to live their best lives, for real. And that's really what Oakes & Alder is all about, self-care in all forms. I’m super excited to share this space with such an amazing group of women, and with all of you! *For questions about scheduling or pricing, text 978.204.7418

I have been a massage therapist for almost 20 years! I have worked in both spa and therapeutic environments, and my goal is to combine the best of both of these worlds. I specialize in restorative massage that will treat your ailments and leave you feeling completely relaxed. I was born and bred in beautiful Tacoma and am so excited to be working at a local, lady-owned day spa that fits the 253 vibe — chic, yet casual and comfortable.

Esthetician, Massage Therapist

I have been a master esthetician for 8 years and a massage therapist for 5 years. After working as an esthetician in a spa for a few years, I decided to go back to school for massage therapy to help my clients on a deeper level.

My skillset allows me to provide clients with complete spa packages, including facial services with various a la carte add-ons. I love customizing facials for every client and their unique concerns. In addition to massage and facials, I specialize in natural-looking brow tinting, and sugaring for a more gentle approach to hair removal. *For questions about scheduling or pricing, text 360.485.6125
